The past decade has seen the development of immunotherapy for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), beginning with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in the relapsed and refractory setting and culminating in the market approval of chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) and bispecific antibodies (BsAbs). The medical community is evaluating the efficacy and safety of these targeted immunotherapies, most of which currently target B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) on the surface of plasma cells. Two anti-BCMA CAR-T products are available for treating relapsed or refractory MM: idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) and ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel).

- - The study investigates healthy individuals' views on how much they should know about the serious risks associated with surgeries, revealing a mix of awareness and consent issues among participants.
- - Of the 330 surveyed, only 23.5% were fully informed about their surgical complications, with 44.9% lacking any preoperative consent regarding these risks; most expressed a desire for better information.
- - The findings suggest that involving relatives during the consent process could enhance patients' understanding and retention of surgical risks, as many participants preferred having a family member present when discussing potential complications.
Background And Objective: Environmental asbestos exposure is reportedly common in some districts of Turkey. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence and effect of environmental asbestos exposure in a village in Gaziantep, Turkey, with reported cases of mesothelioma.
Methods: All villagers > or =14 years old were subject to an interview rediagnosis and a detailed questionnaire.
Study Design: This retrospective study involves 26 patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy who were surgically treated by anterior corpectomy, titanium mesh cage (TMC) filled with autogenous bone, and anterior plate +/- posterolateral plate and fusion.
Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the indications, efficacy, and complication rate associated with performing corpectomy to achieve anterior decompression of neural elements or for removing anterior lesions.
Summary Of Background Data: This retrospective study involves patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy who were surgically treated by > or =2-level anterior corpectomy, TMC filled with autogenous bone, and anterior plate +/- posterolateral plate and fusion.
